What exactly is the point of monogamy? Where did the idea come from and why is it so heavily rooted in our psyches? Monogamy is one of the most unhealthy and unnatural practices that is widely accepted as the most healthy and "family friendly" way to live. But it really is complete ass. All you have to do is look at nature to see that generally no animals practice monogamy, especially primates. It's a fairly recent practice, too. Not long ago, people having mistresses while married wasn't even considered, it just was, sex didn't mean a damn thing. Things of course changed as the Catholic Church gained power and Catholicism spread. Adultery was now a sin, not just a small sin, but one of the 10 ****ing commandments. It seems to have only gained in power with the widespread amounts of American propaganda filling people's heads with the idea of the "perfect american family" and family values. Now, let's discuss, I'll try not to go into too much of a tangent here and just link a few resources for you to check out.

As for myself, I think it's completely irrational, conditioned bullshit, though I still can't accept the idea of someone I love having sex with another person...I know unnatural, but watdo.
